(8) Can the S- or A-arguments follow V in intransitive and transitive clauses in wide focus contexts?

Alternatives to be checked: V-S vs. S-V (intransitive) V-A-O / V-O-A / O-V-A vs. A-O-V / O-A-V / A-V-O (transitive)

d) Unergative Verbs (work, run, dance, pray)

My father worked (slowly). (S-V)

*Worked (slowly) my father. (V-S)

Explanation: These are the labels used in typology (e.g., Bickel, Dixon). An S stands for the single ('subject') core argument in intransitive clauses. An A stands for the most agentive ('subject') argument in transitive clauses.

If the language requires additional material, such as adverbs, feel free to add this. Please exclude contrastive focus or topic constructions as well as pronominal arguments.
